Commentable PDF discrepancies - Mac/PC

I'm creating pdf files for review on a PC (Win XP SP2, Acrobat Pro 7, from InDesign CS2), enabling the commenting feature, and sending them out to an editor with a Mac.
Somewhere between me sending the file and him receiving it (using, I believe, an up to date version of Reader) the document is not commentable. We've both opened the document properties to check this out, and the file I have reads Commenting: Allowed; whereas the file that he has reads Commenting: Not Allowed.
Has this been encountered before, and - if so - is there a workaround?
Thanks,
Dave

I don't remember exactly, but I think you need to enable extended
privileges in Reader which first became available in Acrobat 8.

How do you can change the page size of a pdf in MAC? I have multiple pdf documents of different sizes that I want to combine.

Help. How do I change the page size of a pdf in MAC? I have multiple pdf documents in varying sizes I would like to combine and print.

There's no real need to do that. A PDF can have pages of different sizes.

I cannot open a pdf on mac - am running 17.0.1 on mac os 10.6.8

Hi, I cannot open a pdf on mac - am running 17.0.1 on mac os 10.6.8.
I followed the instructions here: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/pdf-files-are-blank-and-cant-be-downloaded-mac?esab=a&s=pdf+mac&r=0&as=s but the problem is not fixed - I just get left with a blank screen in a new tab when trying to open pdfs (the downloads folder is also empty).
For example here:
http://unetealfuturodeltrabajo.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/esthetic-world-dic-2012.pdf

You may need to both change your Application preferences AND disable the Adobe Acrobat plugin. To disable the plugin:
Tools > Add-ons > Plugins category
Any luck?

How to download pdf on mac OS X 10.8.3

How to download pdf on mac OS X 10.8.3, i have installed adobe reader but still doesnt open
Thanks
Bob

sorry for hijacking but I have a related question to do with certificates.
I had to set up virtual domains manually instead of through the GUI and the server ssl site is now locked to a certificate that is about to expire and no longer needed, I can't change the certificate in the web gui because it was created manually, I can't delete the certificate because it is assigned to the server ssl website and I can't manually edit the conf files to point to a different certificate becasue it breaks it, any ideas?

Firefox does not create a pdf properly using "print Save as pdf" in Mac OSX. Why?

When I "Print > Save As Pdf" in Mac OSX, Firefox will always clip the right margin of the page, leaving out alot of information from the document. Safari creates the same page effortlessly, but I generally prefer Firefox.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== ? After updating to Firefox 3.5.8 - maybe?

I am able to command-print-save as PDF and get the whole page but Firefox crashes every time.

Sending pdfs from Mac Mail to Outlook

I have users that are sending pdfs from mac mail to outlook and the attachements are not going through. All you see is the paperclip and nothing else. This has just started happening. I am telling the users to send emails as plain text with windows friendly attachement as well as to put the attachment in the email. Anyone have any idea how to fix this. There are some unhappy users.
Thank you for the help
Jeff

Outlook for Mac has no option to import from Apple's Mail application. The best suggestion I can offer is that you use an IMAP account to transfer your messages.
Get a free Gmail IMAP account from Google and connect to the account in Mail. Drag your messages into the account to copy them to the server.
Connect to the same account in Outlook and copy your messages from the server to folders under On My Computer.
Another option is to get a third party tool that are available online.
One tool that I am familiar with is Apple Mail Export
Or you can find more on
google or
yahoo for more results
Hope this helps!

PDF from Mac to iBooks on iPad - how?

PDF from Mac to iBooks on iPad - how?
Before iBooks for Mac came along I simply dragged my PDF to iTunes and synced my iPad. I foolishly installed Mavericks and iBooks on my Mac.
Now I have no idea how to drop PDF's to my iPad.
There is a support article but no helpful at
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4227?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
What must I do? I simply want Apple drag 'n drop functionality back please.

You should be able to add the PDF to the iBooks app on your Mac via File > Add To Library, and if you then connect your iPad to your Mac and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your Mac's iTunes then it should show on the iPad's Books tab for syncing to your iPad's iBooks app.
Or you can email the PDF to yourself and use 'open in' in the Mail app on your iPad to copy it into the iBooks app.

Adobe Reader X - Abilitiy to comment PDFs on the Touchpad?

Hi,
will the new Adobe Reader X be available on the Touchpad? Would love to annotate/comment PDFs on the device and Adobe Reader is the best available. If the new Reader will not support the new device, is there any other way to comment on PDFs?
Thank you! You guys do a great job.

I am having the same problem on a Windows Vista machine. Did you ever figure this out?

Combining PDFs from MACs and PCs

Is there a way to effortless combine fairly large pdfs created on MACs and on PCs (usually containing images and tables)? We have had terrible problems with this, including image and caption distortion, etc. Sometimes, we are unable to create pdfs on a PC if we are sent a Word document created on a MAC.
Any advise could be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Steve

If I print to PDF, nothing at all happens.
If I try to do a Save As, I get the following message:
“The export failed. The document could not be prepared for exporting.”
If I right click on the file name and use Convert to Adobe PDF, it will start the process and then stop and return to the Word document.

Comment retrouver sur Mac la date de prise de vue d'une photo modifiée par Lightroom

Lue sur une carte et stockée dans un fichier sur le Finder, une photo possède une date de prise de vue. Dès qu'elle est modifiée par Lightroom et exportée, la date de prise de vue est modifiée et devient la date de l'export de la photo.
Ce problème est celui de l'interface Lightroom - Mac.
Je ne dois pas être la seule à avoir ce problème.
Je vous remercie par avance de toute solution que vous me proposerez.
Cordialement
Hélène Fallour

Merci beaucoup pour cette aide.

Introducing: Open Multi-Page PDF win/mac

Hi all, many users have expressed their desire for a way to open multipage PDFs in Illustrator and for a couple of years now, mac users have enjoyed the use of a script by Shane Stanley to do just that...at first I wanted to translate his script into VB so PC users could benefit from it...since I couldn't get the source code, I decided to give my own version a try using JS....here's the result.
Use with caution, save everything before running until you're comfortable it won't mess things up. I didn't try opening a crazy amount of pages, I "only" opened 35 in about minute and a half. Let us know how many pages you're able to open before you crash Illustrator...
it works with CS4 and CS5 only, windows and mac
have comments?, questions? let me know...enjoy. Carlos Canto

Hey Carlos!
Thanks...:)
I am using my Macbook Pro running Lion 10.7.2.
I downloaded the script and added it to the JavaScript folder (is this the right folder?)
Opened Illustrator -> File -> Scripts -> Other Scripts -> (browsed for the script)
Opened the pdf file in preview and noticed the amount of pages. Can the script have an autodetect so it selects all the pages in the pdf?
Went back to the script dialog box and changed the To area to the amount of pages. Clicked Open.
(I have a few 16 page pdf files that I need to change the logo for each page)
Gradually it opened seemingly on top of each other. Clicked ok. 14 artboards from left to right. 2 artboards below on the left. Hmm I forgot how to adjust the layout of the artboards, can anyone give me the hint on doing so?
I tested the script with 2 16 page pdf files and it looks good!
Now if only you could add the script to Indesign as well...:) As I noticed that Indesign can not open pdf files.
Have a great day!

Printing to PDF on Mac system

Using Adobe 8 on a Mac system and print to Adobe does not work; the "PDF" button is there; however, when selecting that it does not "remove" the comments from the document. Basically, we make internal comments on our documents, which are saved, and then we print to PDF to scrub those comments (resaving the document to another location) so the document can then be filed in a court system (without the comments).

Thank you for your reply - This is the same set up as I was using with CS6, which was printing fine...
It is only since I have updated to CC that the problem has started...
I have always let the programs manage the colour using my calibrations or the standard Epson calibrations.
I have just connected my other computer with exactly the same settings as the first one and that is printing fine???
Somewhere a driver has corrupted.

Can no longer print directly from html nor to a pdf. Mac OX 10.7.4

For several weeks now whenever I try to print a document directly from Internet (html) the printer preview window doesn't show the document. I only get a black screen. I tried printing anyway thinking that there could be a problem with the preview settings of the printer but all I get is a black page. I can also not printo to PDF using the "save us" dialog. I've check all the printer' settings (including installing and desinstalling it) but everything is OK. It happens regardless of the browser (Safari or Firefox). Downloading the document to my computer also doesn't solve the problem: it downloads but when I attempt to open the document an error messsage pops-up saying that the file is corrupted and can not be opened.
I have no problem at all when I try to print any kind of document saved on my computer: The preview on the printer dialog shows the actual document. The result is the desired one (the printed doc) and I can also print to PDF by clicking the "PDF" button on the printer's dialog screen. So far the only provisional solution I have found is to take a screen-shot and then print it. The problem comes when you have to scroll down a document you want to print. In this case the screen-shot is useless.
Details:
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4
Acrobat 10.1.4
Printer: HP Officejet all-in-one 7310 (5C2DCA)
Using wifi to connect to printer
Thank you in advance for your help!

This preview window - is it the one in Acrobat 10.1.4 when you choose to print a PDF (or a PDF made from an HTML)? If it's a preview in a browser, this seems like maybe a Mac OS problem; Acrobat doesn't make that preview.

Poor rendering of 3d pdf on Mac Pro

I'm in a limbo between Apple and Adobe. Although I find it hard to believe that I am the only one who uses 3d pdf diligently and try to do it on a fullgrown Mac. It started when I took my previous MacPro (Mid 2010) in use almost 4 years ago. All 3d-pdfs I tried to render on the machine lacked transparency and materials. The same file on an iMac or a PC looked like I wanted. I complained but the great As blamed each other. And I gave up the fight.
I resently bought a new MacPro (late 2013), partly in the hope that I would get a video card that was supported by Adobe/Apple. But no. The same dreary rendering without material properties. On this machine, I have installed Windows 8.1 throuhg bootcamp. And when I run Reader on Windows my 3d-pdfs looks as I expect. The same machine, the same graphics card, the same file ...
Am I the onely one experiencing this problem? Can I do anything about it?

Ok my images are removed...
But I cant give it up yet. Am I the only one experiencing this problem??? Here are 2 shrunk images. First from Acrobat Reader running on Mac OS 10.92:
Then Acrobat Reader on the same Mac Pro (late 2013) running on Windows 8.1:
Notice the semi transparent ceiling and more vivid colors.
I have an old post regarding the same problem on my previous Mac Pro here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3311368
Please give me a response if you have seen this...

I can no longer directly email pdfs from mac preview

Since upgrading to Lion I can no longer open a pdf file in Mac Preview and then select "Mail Selected PDF Document." When I do so I receive an error message: The "New Email With Attachement" service could not be used.
Anyone know what the problem is?

It could be a POP account which means the first device which accesses the account gets the email unless the settings have been changed. Here are links to show what is involved. It may not mirror your circumstances though.
